About this fabric

The design is formed from small interlocking geometric units, creating a regular architectural rhythm across the cloth. In this Anthracite colourway, the pattern shifts between deep charcoal, graphite and softer grey, giving the surface depth without introducing a bright contrast. The close-up reveals a closely woven, low-sheen texture that keeps the overall impression composed and smart. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this deep, cool anthracite on an occasional chair, sofa or headboard where its compact geometry can act as a quietly graphic focal point. Balance the dark tone with warm timber, chalky walls or lighter grey upholstery.

Use the deep anthracite tone on a statement chair or sofa, pairing it with pale timber, stone and softly contrasting grey textures.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
